What do those wild, crazy, fun-lovin' computer programmers do on Friday nights? Play the TCP/IP drinking game, of course!

You can play the TCP/IP drinking game just about any way you want. The we played the TCP/IP drinking game at Ottawa Linux Symposium goes like this: Find contestants and drinks. (An audience is optional.) Pass the cards around the circle. Each person asks a question of the person next in line. If that person can't answer, they drink to punish themselves. If they can answer, they drink to celebrate. If it was a particularly funny question, everyone drinks. Rifle through the stack of cards if you think the question on top isn't just right for the person you're asking.

You can also play the game Jeopardy style, with a host and an audience and buzzers, or with teams, or anything else. If you want to, you can keep score and declare a winner - but this is a drinking game, and nobody wins a drinking game.
